    Morning paw sniffers:D

    Anyone need bleach:)

    Good buy A v T

    I get the 39p bleach from B & M - it's about the only cleaner I have to buy, everything else is from very ancient stockpiles
    also its one of the few things that is more expensive in Aldi

    Are you getting your ring at last SSM? Hope so! T is the best place for soup I think, £1.17.
    DH got me a fab bargain in our local charity shop this morning - a Skagen watch for £5! The glass is a bit scratched but otherwise in full working order :T :T :T I also got a posh Alexon dress in lovely shimmery fabric for £7, which I'm hoping will be suitable for a fancy New Years Eve do :money:
    :T:T:T well done on your bargains

    Has anyone got any tips please for travel insurance for America? Not something I buy often so dont know where to start looking. I know some banks offer insurance free with certain accounts but dont know of any. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Why do siblings stir things up for each other?

    DS4 has dropped several hints that DS3 is cycling today , 100 road race here in Suffolk. He's said nothing to me but he knows how I feel about him taking part in this sport :(

    they take huge delight in dropping each other in the sh** especially as they usually know someone about one of the others that I don't know about - nothing seems to give them greater pleasure than knowing that for one they are the 'good child' and one if the others is the spawn of the devil :rotfl:

    (incidentally huge thanks for the Stowmarket info, I've passed it all along. I also remembered that he went indoor wall climbing with the other two when he was here last so I found a link for a big climbing wall in Norwich, hopefully that and the football and swimming will be enough to keep him amused. I can see there being a lot of London weekends and long distance driving this weekend.
    typically within days of accepting the internship from B he also got an offer from Porsche so he is doing that next year, I expect he will be very glad to get back home after 6 months in a very quiet uk town in the middle of our horrible winters :) )

    I know with Nationwide you get free travel insurance with certain accounts but you can then pay for an upgrade if you want worldwide but then you need to pay even more if you are going to the US
    I know with eldest son he paid £20 for the upgrade first year but I think they wanted £45 ?? in the 2nd - this was the non US version.

    So we all swapped to Nationwide flex plus accounts - this costs £10 a month but you get 5% interest on your balances - I get about £5 back in interest each month.
    For this we get worldwide travel insurance included, mobile phone insurance, identity theft insurance etc

    I don't know if we are coveted for the US but I assume so - its worth checking the Nationwide website

    I think Halifax do a similar thing

    Nipped to A's on the way home to use up a few apgs ending tomorrow, found Domestos The Big One Pink Power on aisle ends for 50p for the one-litre size.

    Nice SA took all my four apgs off a £10 shop so only paid coppers. :D

    And what goes around, comes around - dinner last night was PE pizza at DD's, and came home with 3 GU puds. I have discovered I can't eat a whole pud...
